UK Duvet sizes are typically named based on the mattress size they are designed to pair. Whilst perhaps obvious, the measurements of the duvets are different to the respective mattresses.
| Size | Measurements in CM | Measurements in Inches |
| UK Single Duvet | 135 cm x 200 cm | 4’5” x 6’6” |
| UK Double Duvet | 200 cm x 200 cm | 6’6” x 6’6” |
| UK King Size Duvet | 230 cm x 220 cm | 7’6” x 7’2” |
| UK Superking Size Duvet | 260 cm x 220 cm | 8’6” x 7’2” |
Just because you’ve opted for a king size bed, doesn’t mean you can’t opt for a superking duvet. In fact this can be really cosy and a pretty cool look depending the style of your bed.
Tog Ratings Explained
The tog rating of a duvet is a measure of its warmth. Tog rating starts at 1.0 and typically goes up to 15, although it is possible to get duvets with a higher rating.
The higher the tog rating of a duvet, the warmer it is. Lower tog duvets are most suited to summer, high tog duvets most suited to winter, and those in between a good choice for spring or autumn. If for whatever reason you’ve no desire to buy multiple duvets, a duvet with a tog rating of 10 or so can be a safe bet year round.

Summer Duvet |

Spring / Autumn |
7.0 – 10.5 tog |

Winter |
12.0 – 15.0 tog |
A higher tog rating does not necessarily mean a heavier duvet. The weight of the duvet is dependent on the filling of the duvet, not the tog rating.
Duvets come with a range of different fillings such as feather and down, cotton, silk, wool or microfibre and other synthetic materials.
